v The Leader's subscription list will be
placed on a cash-in-advance basis
March 1, 1918. After, that date no
papers will be mailed that are not
paid for in advance.
Long experience has convinced us
that this is the only system which is
just to both subscriber and publisher.
, We trust that those of our friends
who are interested in the maintenance
of a pioneer newspaper in a pioneer
town will cheerfully respond. V
Althouglvthe cost of publication has
increased, the Leader's subscription
rate continues at the same figure,
$1.50 per year.
